Agenda item

Cllr Toby Sturgis returned to the Committee room before the commencement of this Agenda Item.

 

Members of the public Anthony Hole and the applicant Bruce Griffin spoke in favour of the application. Member of the public Bob Tallon spoke against the application.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the application for demolition of existing properties and erection of a residential property. A presentation was delivered showing photographs of existing site and proposed plans. Details were given explaining how the applicant had sought to address any issues and objections raised. The Committee were also advised that materials in keeping with the area would be used, such as Cotswold stone. The updated conditions, as included in the Late Items, were highlighted.

 

Members were invited to ask technical questions and it was clarified that the property would be “cut-in” so to level the build with its neighbouring properties. It was also confirmed that Permitted Deployment Rights would be removed from the site.

 

Local Member Cllr John Thomson spoke in regards to the application, he explained that he had previously supported an application for the site, but that he could not support the current application. He thought the design was too modern for a village such as Brokenborough and referred to Core Policy 57 in his objection.

 

Members of the public spoke as detailed above.

 

In the debate that followed Members remarked on the fact that it was a modern design, which was to some peoples taste and not others, however it was discussed that there are a variety of properties in that area already and it would not be out of keeping. Cllr Gavin Grant proposed the Officer’s Recommendation of approval, subject to an additional condition, requiring slab levels to be agreed prior to commencing the build. This was seconded by Cllr Hurst and passed by the majority,
